Hello All,

I just installed xenial on eucalyptus 4.4 and I get the following
message when I log in as root.

eucalyptus (once part of ubuntu) is an open source cloud platform that
emulates AWS.  It went through a commercial phase but it is now licensed
under BSD and has returned to its pure open source status.  There is a
small but active user community and it is seeing traction in IoT.

I'm guessing that xenial recognized that the metadata service supported
by eucalyptus isn't EC2.  Further, I can't seem to get 18.04 to run
properly.  It boots but the network will not respond.  Based on this
message I surmise that 18.04 is simply disabling the network due to an
unrecognized metadata service.

We use eucalyptus for graduate student research and many of the students
would prefer to use ubuntu.  It would be helpful if you could add it to
the list of cloud providers cloudinit recognizes.

Thanks for your time.
